Chapter 414 Sword of Damocles(1/2)

Author: quiet thoughts

"Hong Hongchuan Sang, are you being a little too alarmist?"

After swallowing a few times, Yuye Yiyou tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and asked him as if to comfort him.

"Alarmist?" Hong Chuanfeng looked at the former MITI Minister with a half-smile.

"Uno-san, the American industry protested to the American government last year.

They believe that foreign companies cannot enter the Neon semiconductor market because the Neon government has adopted unfair trade practices."

"Absolutely! The Neon government has always advocated a free trade environment, how could Keke block it!"

Before Hong Chuanfeng could finish speaking, Yuye Yiyou categorically rebutted. It seemed as if he was afraid that if he was a step too late, the accusation would be confirmed.

Bu Nao missed his excitement, but Hongchuan Feng smiled calmly.

"Everyone knows Uno-san. Whether such an accusation is true or not does not matter. The only important thing is whether the person who accuses me has such a name."

The truth? Isn’t that the mercy that the strong gives to the weak?

When personal interests are at stake, fists are not justified.

Yuye Yiyou also understood that, as a weak person, Bu Nao could only protest verbally.

"Take a step back again" seemed to feel that his words were impactful, Hong Chuanfeng continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Is the 1982 IBM espionage case really that simple? Without the cooperation of the US government, IBM would be the enemy of the entire Neon computer manufacturer?

Even Fujitsu, which stayed out of the incident, has been implicated. Everyone knows that it has nothing to do with that incident, so it was wrongly accused, but so what?"

Yuye Yiyou's expression changed, and those words hurt him deeply.

Just at the end of last year, IBM suddenly sued Fujitsu Computer for infringement of its software system.

The reason is that it was the same as the espionage case the year before last. Implicated in this, Fujitsu has been actively mediating with IBM recently in an attempt to reach a private settlement.

Isn't Lao Mi so overbearing? He can punish me just by looking for a name.

"Also, Uno-san, have you ever considered why SIA was established?" Hongkawa Kaede continued to hit.

"SIA, the American Semiconductor Association. The original intention of its establishment was to resist the penetration of neon semiconductors into the American market.

If what he expected was correct, Intel and Micron would have been lobbying Congress for a long time, asking Neon Semiconductor companies to impose restrictions, right?"

Every word Hongchuan Feng said hit Yuye Yiyou and their hearts hard.

Of course, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce knows about these situations, and they don't have eyes and ears in the United States.

If it were suddenly revealed by Hongchuan Feng, they would no longer be able to survive.

“If you think about it, Neon DRAM chip business already accounts for nearly 40% of the world’s share.

Especially for 64K chips, the chips produced by Neon in the United States have surpassed hosts such as Intel, Micron, and Motorola.

As you just said, chips are the core of future technology. Will the United States watch them and take away such power from their legs? "

Hongkawa Kaede turned around and looked directly at them, "Uno-san, there has always been trade friction between Neon and the United States.

From textiles in the 1950s to today's automobiles, the two sides have been competing with each other for decades, and they should know it well.

Look at their movements, the Sword of Damocles has been raised, and the one who strikes with Dong's sword will be semiconductors!"

After brushing, Yuye Yiyou couldn't help but stood up and took two quick steps to come to Hongchuan Feng.

"Hongchuan-san, have you heard anything?"

"The news is all over the place." Hongchuan Feng spread her legs and told him the truth bluntly.

"Just ask Uno to take a look around Beimi. The impression of neon lights in Silicon Valley is not good."

News? What news are you looking for? Sort through the trade relations between Neon and the United States in those decades, and the truth will naturally come to light.

Yuye Yiyou looked at Hongchuan Kaede, then turned to look at Suiyama Kazuo next to him, with a lonely expression.

"Sugiyama-san, let them go."

Sugiyama Kazuo's face was complicated, why couldn't he understand the meaning of what Hongkawa Kaede just said.

Not to mention restarting the VLSI Research Institute, we will continue to conquer cities and territories in the field of processor chips.

According to the situation analysis just now, it is very likely that Neon’s DRAM chips are about to be damaged.

"Excuse me Mingyue, Hongchuan-san. If you are interested, you may wish to visit MITI often."

Hongchuan Feng's expression changed, and then he nodded in agreement.

After both sides bowed, the two MITI officials said goodbye and left.

Hongchuan Feng knew why they were so eager to go back, and it was just to thoroughly analyze the trade relationship between Neon and the United States over the past few decades.

If the initial deduction turns out to be really not good, then I wonder if the Ministry of International Trade and Industry will make some preparations.

Oh no, Hongchuan Feng shook his head, it's too late.

Not to mention whether they can convince those complicated officials, but Neon Enterprises, which are becoming more and more dazzling on the world semiconductor stage, will not believe that so easily.

And if expectations are correct, North America should already be formulating relevant sanctions regulations.

The United States will not let me off easily just because I show signs of weakness.

But at least now, as far as SIC is concerned, there is no need to worry about so-called technology sharing in the future.

"Beijing's authorized SICs should be opened up as much as possible. In addition, all chips in overseas markets in the future should be entrusted to Beimi's wafer fabs for OEM production."

"Hai!" Heitaro Nakajima, who looked extremely serious, nodded solemnly and agreed to Donglai.

Although there is no need to worry about SIC for the time being, the door-to-door visit from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry gave Hongchuan Feng a sense of urgency.

In the blink of an eye, it has been 84 years. The golden age of manufacturing is about to pass, but the golden age of the whole people is about to come.

In April, Hongkawa Kaede was sitting in a coffee shop in Ginza, slowly admiring the street view outside the window.

There was a girl in fashionable clothes at the next table, looking there from time to time, lowering her head and whispering.

Hongchuan Feng knew what they were discussing, and he had become accustomed to that kind of gaze recently.

He simply denied identifying himself and then quietly discussed his net worth.

No, Maple Hongchuan is now considered a neon celebrity.

At the end of March and early April, with the disclosure of Hongchuan Electric's new year's financial report, he was once again thrust into the spotlight.

But that time, the media not only misdirected their attention to Hongchuan Electric, but also focused on Hongchuan Holdings, the largest shareholder behind it.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that that company has a great relationship with Hongchuan Feng Juecuo.

This is indeed the case. The person behind Hongchuan Holdings is Hongchuan Feng.

Since everyone has agreed not to report on private life, it doesn't matter if they write about business.

However, despite the attention of many media, Hongchuan Holdings was hit hard.

From the most eye-catching Hongchuan Electric Co., Ltd. to the inconspicuous Amap Co., Ltd.

After some counting, people discovered that there were as many as ten sub-clubs in the east of Hongchuan Holdings.

Counting Bic Camera, Tokuma Shoten, Hudson Software, Capcom and other related companies, there are 14 companies in Benikawa Control.

There are fourteen companies, among which Hongchuan Electric, SIC, HAL, Beidu Bank, etc. are all familiar to everyone.

The scale of their integration into a whole shocked even many media outlets.

Why don't we simply call the capital behind Hongchuan Holdings "Hongchuan Chaebol"?

As its founder, Hongchuan Maple has naturally been the subject of much discussion recently.

Everyone is speculating on how much he is worth now.

Because there is a Hongchuan Electric company in the city, and although people have heard about other clubs, they don't know the specific value.

At that time, so-called experts from all walks of life appeared on the program and began to talk about it in the clubs that Hongchuan Kongguai Shi faced.

In short, the initial conclusion reached is no. Hongchuan Feng's personal wealth can be amassed at least 10 billion US dollars.

After all, the market value of Hongchuan Electrical Appliances is US$16 billion. If Hongchuan Holdings accounts for half of it, it will be worth US$8 billion.

Other companies, SIC and Beidu Bank, add up to more than 2 billion US dollars.

Others are paying attention, but the words $10 billion are really eye-catching.

That much wealth is enough to rank him among the 100 richest people in the world.

Therefore, due to the appearance of Hongchuan Kaede, it was difficult for the girls in Ginza to recognize him.

Soon the girls had to look away, because several staff members who were not easy to offend at first sight had quietly stood in front of them.

"Ota, you've been working hard lately."

"Fortunately, I live up to my mission." Ohta, who was wearing a black suit, nodded respectfully.

"How are people?"

"A little skin injury doesn't matter."
